Although it's still being sold by folks like Sweetwater and Guitar Center--unlike the higher-powered units of the old line--it's not featured on Bose's "Portable PA Line Array" page. I asked my Sweetwater rep about it, will report back if I hear anything.

I think only Charter members can post photos--the $25 provides some perks like that and helps support the site. Others have linked to photos on external sites. I'll private-message you, I could post it in a pinch.

It's hard to backtrack from that link (for me) to see where it sits in the grand scheme of things. So, for example, I came upon a page with many products listed including the Compact but also the L1 M2 and the like, which have indisputably been retired. Not disputing your point, just saying I am personally unclear. |

Bose L1 Pro16
Don’t get me wrong, the system sounded great! If you only use it in a loud venue setting, the high pitch ring would not be a deal breaker. Using it in my studio/ rehearsal space it will drive you crazy after a few minutes and give you a headache.
I would have put up with the wobble; yes, it does wobble. When you take 16 speakers and put them on top of a plastic flimsy pole with an additional short plastic extender, it’s top heavy. The fact that base is very narrow and much taller than my L1 Compact does not help the wobble situation.

Well, the Pro16 sounded really good. It was good enough that I was willing to exchange it for one working correctly, but the replacement had the same issue. The employee said there were issues with others too. I’m sure Bose would have fixed it but on a higher end unit like this, this shouldn’t happen. I’m just not going to send a new expensive unit to get fixed.

You are right Chris. I did not notice L1MII was still there too.
So all legacy Bose L1 are still on the web page. Why discontinuying the L1c since it is more lightweight than the pro 8? Maybe Bose thinks there is no market between the S1 pro and L1 pro 8

I have had my L1c for almost 10 years; it has been a champ. That said, for the difference in price, IF I were replacing it, the L1 Pro8 seems like a lot more PA for a bit more money. The technology has progressed. Seems like moving the L1c to legacy status makes sense.

On that FB page noted earlier, not a whole lot of new action re the 16 though I did see this from a commenter on the high-pitched squeal some report, echoing much of what GreatGretsch said: I've been told, since posting this question, that bose is aware and would replace if I were to buy a unit with this issue which has me back to thinking about the 16 over the 32...

USB Poll rate (micro frame) is every 125 microseconds... that is 8 kHz.

Are you saying the USB port could be generating the noise?
